The next morning, Sun Fuyu helped attach the jade pendant so that it hung off Wen-ge’s waist, and he tied his own too. He also arranged Wen-ge’s hair into the golden hair crown, and adjusted the right lapel so that the robes fell neatly.
Wen Zhihao stood dociley throughout, a little chagrined about his usual way of dress. His excuse was that the original owner’s memories were hazy, so he didn’t know exactly how to wear hanfu! There were just so many fiddly bits…
After Sun Fuyu was finished, he looked at Wen-ge with shining eyes. “Handsome!”
Wen Zhihao immediately shook his head. “No, Xiao Yu is handsome!”
Sun Fuyu lowered his head bashfully. He reached out and held Wen-ge’s hand.
The children were very smart and had gotten ready by themselves, and had already climbed into the flying cart. Wen Zhihao and Sun Fuyu sat at the front, and took the children to the kitchen.
Sun Fuyu walked alongside Wen-ge with his head held high. Xiao Bai, walking alongside Wen Zhihao, couldn’t help but look at the jade cats hanging from his Uncle Wen’s waist.
“A good morning?” Aunty Liu asked warmly.
Wen Zhihao grinned. “Look at our matching jade pendants! Xiao Yu gifted them!”
Aunty Liu’s eyes narrowed slightly. That look was quickly replaced with a smile at Sun Fuyu. “Xiao Yu, they look lovely.”
“Very beautiful!”
“How cute and adorable!”
“Ahh, Xiao Fuyu, they’re very romantic!”
Sun Fuyu beamed brighter as Aunty Liu Jing and the other kitchen staff praised the matching jade pendants.
While Wen Zhihao was eating, Aunty Liu Jing unceremoniously dragged Wen Zhihao to a private corner, while telling Sun Fuyu to stay put.
“Don’t worry, Xiao Fuyu, I just need to speak with your Wen-ge briefly,” Aunty Liu said kindly to Sun Fuyu, before pulling Wen Zhihao away.

“No, that isn’t what I meant. While I know that you cultivators form Dao companionships and have dual cultivation, I would prefer to see you honestly marry my son, Xiao Fuyu. You are, aren’t you?”
Wen Zhihao blinked. Dual cultivation! Ah, I forgot about dual cultivation! What is dual cultivation in this world? Wait, what else was it that Aunty Liu said—
“Marry?” Wen Zhihao suddenly had visions of all the planning involved to pull off a wedding, all the formal rituals and processes, and the cost it took…And this was an Ancient China style world! So the rituals would be different!

Aunty Liu crossed her arms. “Don’t even joke.”
“I really don’t know, Aunty.” All that work…
Then Wen Zhihao smiled slightly. “But I’m sure Sun Fuyu would like any happy event. It would be exactly the same as a birthday dinner party, except Sun Fuyu and I are wearing red clothing…”
Aunty Liu’s forehead throbbed. Don’t think she didn’t know what Wen Zhihao was trying to do! “As your aunty, I will make most of the preparations.”
Wen Zhihao grinned. “I’m sure Xiao Yu would be relieved to know that the wedding is in your capable hands. I still have some money to finance the preparations.” To show his sincerity, Wen Zhihao immediately handed over the leftover mortal money from that ridiculous stack of silver banknotes Cheng Yahui had given him over a month ago.
Aunty Liu accepted the money. “I’ll need your eight characters.”
“…I don’t know.” Wen Zhihao apologetically clasped his hands together. “We don’t need them anyway, since Aunty Liu agrees to the marriage, yes? Can Aunty Liu let me go back to eating again? Look, I think Xiao Yu is starting to get anxious!”
“…”
Liu Jing’s momentary sadness at the reminder that Wen Zhihao and Sun Fuyu didn’t have biological parents was quickly wiped away by Xiao Wen’s cheekiness.
After the morning school run, Wen Zhihao and Sun Fuyu went to visit Sword Crafter Lin Jixuan, who had a large workshop at the edge of the sect.
Lin Jixuan’s defensive arrays alerted her of the visitors. She placed a half-forged sword into a time-stop array and grumpily stomped out to meet them, not even bothering to take off her thick apron.
“You’re the one that Huang Jialing sent?” Lin Jixuan asked. Without giving them time to answer, she continued, “Sword. Payment.”
Sun Fuyu respectfully presented his sword with two hands, while Wen Zhihao passed over his old spatial ring filled with spiritual stones.
Lin Jixuan transferred the pile of stones without emotion. Her lips pursed as she examined Sun Fuyu’s sword, and then examined Sun Fuyu himself.
“You shouldn’t have left it so long before upgrading,” she said. “Don’t leave it so long next time, understand? Come back next week.”
With that, she closed the door on them and headed back to her forge.
Sun Fuyu lingered as his sword went further and further away from him. But he could feel that his sword was respectful of Senior Lin Jixuan, even if it was a tiny bit scared. He took a deep breath and decisively turned away. His sword would be fine.
“Wen-ge, can I borrow your sword again?”
“Of course.”
Wen-ge’s sword sleepily greeted Sun Fuyu, though it slowly woke up some more when Sun Fuyu attached it to his waist. “What does Wen-ge want to do? I’ll follow!”
With his sword now in Lin Jixuan’s hands, Sun Fuyu couldn’t go on any missions. With Wen-ge’s sword in his hands, he needed to accompany Wen-ge in order to protect him!
Ah, Wen Zhihao thought. This is awkward… “Let’s go to the library.”
“The Outer Sect one or the Inner Sect one?”
“The…Inner Sect one? Xiao Yu would have to lead.”—Since Wen Zhihao didn’t even know there was an Inner Sect Library, let alone its location.
Sun Fuyu nodded seriously. “En, then let’s go.” He reached out and took Wen-ge’s hand. “What does Wen-ge want to find in the library? I’ll help!”
Wen Zhihao coughed. “I want to research something…”
“Mn?”
Sun Fuyu’s gaze was bright and open; he looked so eager to help Wen Zhihao.
Wen Zhihao inwardly sighed. Aiya, aiya, I should be honest too…But he couldn’t just say that he had no idea what dual cultivation was (in this world)…
“I want to research about different methods of dual cultivation,” Wen Zhihao said. There had to be more than one way, right?
“!!!”
Sun Fuyu’s eyes widened. Wen-ge wants to read about different dual cultivation methods? He’s holding my hand! He wants to dual cultivate too?
A fire ignited in Sun Fuyu’s eyes. “Come on, Wen-ge, the library is this way!”
Mini rec corner!
Lately, I’ve read some action-adventure style BL:
- Black Saint is My Stalker : modern-inspired urban fantasy-ish, the main character is half human half demon! And the action/fight scenes are great!! Also good for thirsty readers more so than this salted fish story :^)
- Salvation of the Scum Fifth Prince : transmigration into one of those European style novels (that reads a lot like Japanese style European royalty fantasy), the main character…came from an apocalypse world. I find it really cool when an apocalypse-setting character transmigrates to a different setting. The MC has an aura that he is oblivious to like Wen Zhihao….except his aura is the opposite of nice 🤣🤣
Reading them makes me want to write an action/adventure/magic/fantasy BL next instead of my other great idea hahaha *author proceeds to laugh and then cry*
(❁´◡`❁)
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Lmao Sun Fuyu😭✋ Ah i can’t wait for the wedding!!
Also, a few minutes ago and in my notifications this chapter was put as prologue and i was SUPER confused💀 I was about to comment on it but then i refreshed and it was chapter 85 xDTy for the chapter!💜💜💜
ah the wedding cough cough
OH YES I FORGOT TO PUT IN THE CHAPTER NUMBER 🙈🙈🙈 Duck on the CG discord quickly notified me and I fixed it!
Sorry haven’t been commenting on the chapters lately, I’ve been lazy. I have a question actually, do spiritual cultivators exist in this novel, as when plants, animals and natural things cultivate for long enough and under certain condition, transform or obtain a human form? Cause I could totally see Wen Zhihao creating the perfect environment to nourish plants and animals to turn them into spirit cultivators. Considering he already accidentally turned normal fruit trees into spirit trees, because of his qi. Thanks for the Chapter~~*
Uuuh I can totally imagine that! My first bet would be that tree under which he likes to take his afternoon naps.
My original thought was that in the far future when Wen Zhihao and Sun Fuyu are like high levelled cultivators, that they could have spirit cultivator children from the sheer existence of Wen Zhihao. Wen Zhihao and Sun Fuyu staying at the peak of a mountain while planting trees and having monster cat pets that just turn into spirit children.
🥺🥺🥺🥺 so many children. but that’s really cuteee, Wen Zhihao can really become a grandpa like he is inside 😏😏😏😏
Actually I think that for creatures without their consciousness(plants, rocks) it pretty rare event and they need much more time than creatures with consciousness – several hundreds or even thousand year for consciousness, that allows them to think, to apear and then they should want to cultivate, only after that and several thousand years they can turn into human form.For animals it’s easier, but again, they should want to cultivate.
But it’s mostly for reality, and in novels we can write whatever we want)
I’m thinking the cats are more likely to gain human form than plants and ? ? ? seeing as they are already sentient and jialing can understand their grumpy talk as they accept offerings and snuggles.
cats don’t want to be bald as humans
O=
You are totally right! kitties don’t need to cultivate to human form because the cats form is already perfection itself!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah a human wanting to cultivate into a cat makes more sense! Xdxd
PERFECT GOLD
😏😏😏 the cats are definitely sentient and intelligent already~
I can totally feel you on the lazy thing 😆
I would say….spiritual cultivators should exist………. cough what is my patchy world building 🙈🙈🙈
but awwww that sounds cute!
Researching is good, but as they say practice makes perfect…
😆😆😆😆😆😆
Wen Zhihao: “So, bed-”
Sun Fuyu: “Yes bed!”
Wen Zhihao: ‘It’s not what I’m trying to say, but if you happy~’
thanks for the chapter~
😆😆😆 thanks for reading!
Lmao – well it seems like one way or another Wen-ge is going to learn about dual cultivation!
🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭 it’s not he doesn’t know, but he knows that he doesn’t know for this world!
lol I was more noting Fuyu’s eagerness!
I just read all translated chapters of Salvation of the Scum Fifth Prince and now I want moreeeee. Why does it always end on a cliffhanger?
Thanks for the chapter and the recommendations.
cough the scum fifth prince is an original novel! 😆 But as an author, writing cliffhangers make readers want to read more!!! right? 😏😏😏
thank you for reading, and thanks for checking out the recs!
Oops haha. I think I just read through it without paying attention to much other than the plot.
only paying attention to the plot is the besttttt
Xiao Yu darling, your Mom (Aunt Liu) tries so hard to keep your chrysanthemum safe, but you’ve already given it to your Wen-ge in a boquet
Thanks for the update (´∀`)♡
🤣🤣🤣🤣 not yet! not quite yet!! 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the chapter! Finally, they are getting married! Which makes sense since everyone knows that they are Dao companions…
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 technically it’s a mortal marriage and not a cultivatist kind of thing, but yes, “finally” 🤣🤣🤣 They actually got together pretty ‘quickly’ 🤣
Ahh thanks for recommending the salvation of the scum fifth prince , i just caught up to the latest chapter , author’s taste is really great 👍.
And in regards with our salted fish hihi the event we’ve been waiting for , the honey- i mean the wedding kekeke
Also “I wish you a long and happy life, and that you give birth to a son soon.” from GunGun
Awwww GunGun! Cute!
glad you like the scum fifth prince!!
😏😏😏😏😏😏 author whistles innocently
LOLLL they already have kids though!! 🤣🤣🤣 the kids came first, the marriage is coming later 🤣
A fire ignited in Sun Fuyu’s eyes – Author-Sama, I want a fire to ignite in this salted fish’s mind QAQ.
He makes me want to punch him with a plastic bat (Not steel because I like him {Don’t worry Sun Fuyu, I don’t like him like you – I am trying to explore your relationship here})
Thanks for the chapter!!
salted fish is too tireddddddd
hahahahahahaha, indeed, be careful that Sun Fuyu doesn’t block your bat 🤣
AHHH I’m getting teased by all that dual cultivation talk but I only have a tiny hope that it will actually happen .・゚゚・(/ω\)・゚゚・.
I have the black saint in my reading list but I’m stacking chapters hehe will check the other story you recommend! Thanks for the chapter author-sama it was so sweet 💕
author whistles innocently
ohhh stacking chapters! I guess that’s important esp. through the cliffhangy chapters 🤣
Aaaaahhhh can’t wait for the dual cultivation 🤣🤣
author whistles innocently
Which he does find is caught be a certain friend as sheng is blushing while secretly passing over manuals. Which he wonders why he didnt hide the cover with a normal fake cover before handing em over. And then the question comes, did he read those manuals 1st before giving em to zhihao?
Joyfully imagines all the 1st and 2nd hand embarassments \o/
👀
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 asking Zhou Sheng would cause Zhou Sheng to choke in vinegar hahahaha
Aaaaaah!
Thank you for the chapter
thank you for reading!

Different methods………..😂😂😂
😏😏😏😏 no lies!
Lol, I fully recommend doing some research before jumping in. That poor librarian is going to think they’re looking for porn 🤣 Thanks for the chapter!
Also, thanks for the recs! If you’re in an action adventure mood, I’m currently reading “Surprise! The Supposed Talent Show Was Actually–?!” here in CG. Its been a lot of fun so far.
I mean, the librarian has probably seen everything 😏

Thanks for the chapter! OH MY! Passionate cutie switch ON!! 😂 The dual cultivation just lit the fire! & finally someone sensible convinced the lazy fish to have a wedding & reassure a young sweetie! He’ll fly or dance he’ll be so happy to have his ge all his!
Aunty Liu is definitely one of the most level-headed characters in this novel 😂😂😂
OH… fufufu… al fin el hermano Wen se ha iluminado y quiere comenzar a prepararse para comer carne o ser comido 😏🤭.
Sobre eso… no me imagino a Wen-ge de gong… motivo… mucha acción para alguien tan… relajado jajajaja, aunque el uke lleva después todo el cansancio, tos tos… mi mente está amarilla…. tos tos…
Uhm, en verdad muchas veces siento que Wen He es un buda, sino fuera porque su deseo es descansar y comer… ya es un buda, sin contar su inexistente deseo en… tos tos cultivo dual… 😏…
Quiero la boda… espero que sea hermosa.
muchas gracias autor!!!
author whistles innocently
Hehehe, Wen Zhihao really is like a buddha 🤣
Thank you for reading!!
Ohoho! Finally we are getting somewhere!
Or are we? 😏
we’re finally getting a wedding and a wedding night 😻
cough cough
Thanks for reading!
Lets research some porn!
🤣🤣
Are there many types of dual cultivation🤔😂🤔😂🤔😂
yes 😉
Why don’t you try adding some of those action themes and stuff into this story? It could help with the world building and character development. Just an idea 😁 …. Although probably a late one tbh 😂🙈😂🙈
It’s a bit too late indeed hahahaha. I did try writing some action scenes, but they could be better…..
Someone’s so impatient to cook the rice! Kkkkkkk
🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
Dual cultivation 😏😏
😏😏😏😏😏😏
*Quietly tiptoes after them to the library to try and sneak an unobtrusive peek over their shoulders when they research dual cultivation methods… *
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmfao I love wen’s sword and how its just like him, the cats, and the dog…. sleepy
Hehehe Wen Zhihao gathers people like him around him~
Thank you for the chapter!
